When you request a ride from Uber or Lyft, you trust them to keep you safe. However, it’s alarming that thousands of people experience assault while using these services each year.

You didn’t deserve to be sexually assaulted while using these services. And you’re not alone. Shocking numbers show that Uber received 3,824 reports of sexual assault between 2019 and 2020, with Lyft reporting 1,807 assaults in 2019 alone.

Recent lawsuits have been filed suggesting that rideshare companies may be partly to blame because they didn’t ensure a safe environment for their customers.

You deserve justice. You deserve to see these companies held accountable for the pain, suffering, and trauma that they have caused you and others just like you.

If you were a victim of sexual assault while using a rideshare service, you may be eligible for compensation.

Types of Sexual Assault Include:

• Sexual Penetration (rape, sodomy, digital or oral)
• Attempted Sexual Penetration
• Victims Forced to Perform Sexual Acts on Themselves or Others
• Kissing or Touching of Sexual Body Parts
• Attempted Kissing or Touching of Sexual Body Parts
• Indecent Exposure
• Verbal Sexual Abuse (aggressive flirtation, sexual threats, etc)

You may be eligible to file a claim if:

• You’ve experienced sexual assault while being a rider in an Uber or Lyft vehicle.
• You can provide evidence of the ride, such as a receipt or app history.
• You’ve reported the incident to a relevant party or parties, such as the rideshare company, law enforcement, therapist, or doctor.

   

Don’t suffer in silence. Take action now to hold rideshare companies accountable and help prevent future incidents.
